I am not giving up. I won't pretend I don't hurt, but I've spent too long fighting my depressed brain telling me 'give up' to give up hope due to outside circumstances.

I maintain that Hawkeye's intro as Ronin in Endgame would have been better if he had been obliterating a Klan gathering rather than random Yakuza.

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

Billionaire money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.

People repeating some lazy old bullshit, so let's lay out the reality: Netanyahu is a genocidal monster. Hamas is not a brave band of freedom fighters, they're an Israeli weapon, bought and paid for. Civilians are never an acceptable target in warfare.

Two facts and a moral base.

Yeah, like, Coca Cola pulled their AI ad after, what, a few weeks? Because of how bad the reception was. And Coca Cola hardly ever learns anything!

One of my favorite I've written recently is: "Despite all appearances, David is not dead, merely a teenager."

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek just took back control of the national guard.

She is sending the Oregon national Guard back home and is directing the California national guard to leave the State.

Nah, we mean the funding of Hamas by Netanyahu and his cronies, of which he bragged in the Jerusalem Times in 2014, 2017, and 2019. Hamas is an Israeli-bought meat grinder that he feeds his own people into to manufacture justification for genocide.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

I mean, they don't. They want money and to provide little in return. It's clear they're resenting being asked to maintain a community.

I'm impressed they contacted you back. Haven't had a prospective employer do that in years.

It also creates the false presumption that evil and incompetence are somehow mutually exclusive.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.
